Really odd yet interesting idea and gameplay mechanic which is actually quite a lot of fun, a nice interpretation to the theme too. Like the leg animation ^_^ Highly Rated. :)

I think this is a great idea, and after I failed a couple times I got the hang of it... which was pretty gratifying. I also like the the subject matter is different. Really great simple game! good work!

Hahaha very innovative ;) Its kinda hard, actually I find it really hard to keep a barrel more than 8-9 seconds ! Great idea :)

I love this game, really :) All great!

Very well made. Simple idea, but the execution gave it a great sense of accomplishment when you managed to keep the barrel going for longer and longer stretches of time. Congrats!

I agree with psychomonster the idea is unique. I love how simple the game play is(I mean that in good way).

This is surprisingly addictive until you get to that point where, as you say, it becomes too easy. But it's pretty fun learning how to juggle the urns! And a great, unusual concept, too.

Haha, that was strange :D cool graphics and sound though.

Brilliant! I've just spent more time than I care to admit playing this. It's really satisfying figuring out the best technique to use. And the physics feel really nice - I fancy trying it out in real life now (might end badly...). The visuals and audio give the whole thing a lot of charm. Top work!

This legs make my day! Thanks a lot! I can spoil a secret - hold one leg for two kick, then another one and make new records !

Yes, physics is hard. :)

Nice looking model. The game was easy once I figured it out... but I couldn't understand why that method worked.

The hardest part is the reception but as you wrote, after it's quiet easy. The work on physics is impressive.

Attempt one: Extend both legs and hold them.
Attempt two: Extend both legs rapidly.
Attempt three: Alternate legs rapidly.
Attempts four to twenty or something: Repeat attempt three.
Attempt twenty-one or something is when I finally got it. I enjoy getting the hang of a game, though, so it was fun. :)

LOL !!!
What a great idea for the theme. Not as easy as I thought it would be, but it has a really awesome visual style. Good job on the innovation! Great models / animation / physics!

This is so cool.

Perfectly excecuted, very niche, creative idea, extremely smooth controls and animations, lovely physics. The gameplay is more about figuring out HOW to do it than actually getting a high score, because it obviously gets boring quickly, but as a Ludum Dare game, it really fits the theme and is really just lovely done.

Great job.

Loved! Took me a while to figure out what to do :P
nice work!

Haha, very different and cool! Graphics look good and the mechanics/controls have a solid feel to them (nice use of screen shake!)
